How to Enable DLSS 6x and Dynamic Frame Generation in Forza Horizon 6
How to enable DLSS 6x and Dynamic Frame Generation in Forza Horizon 6
Want even higher framerates in Forza Horizon 6? Have a crazy-fast monitor that you want to max out? While the game itself maxes out its Frame Generation support with DLSS 4x Multi Frame Generation, users of the Nvidia app can use DLSS Overrides to enable up to DLSS 6x Frame Generation, and even enable DLSS Dynamic Frame Generation.
At launch, Forza Horizon already supports DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution. That means that DLSS Overrides for DLSS Super Resolution will have a limited impact. For Forza Horizon 6, at least at launch, DLSS Overrides are most useful for enabling higher Frame Generation modes. However, it is worth noting that Playground Games only recommends high levels of Frame Generation when using “monitors which support high refresh rates”. Frame Generation cannot make up for solid baseline game performance; it can only deliver additional motion clarity with AI-generated frames. As always, Frame Generation should only be used when a game already runs at a decent framerate (around 60 FPS or higher).
How to access Nvidia DLSS Overrides
To use DLSS Override, Nvidia RTX GPU users need to install the Nvidia App. This App is part of Nvidia’s newest GeForce drivers, and is available as an optional install.
Unlike Nvidia’s GeForce Experience app, the Nvidia App does not require user logins to function. This makes the Nvidia App much easier to use than its predecessor.
The first thing gamers need to do is navigate to “Graphics” and find Forza Horizon 6 as an installed program. If it doesn’t appear on your list, click the three-circle icon and then click “Refresh”. This should make the game appear on your list if it is installed.
DLSS Frame Generation Overrides
Once you find the game, you can then navigate to “DLSS Override – Frame Generation Mode”. Once you click there, a menu will appear. Within this menu, you will be able to set a DLSS Override for Forza Horizon 6, which will override the game’s selected setting. Up to 6x Frame Generation is available on RTX 50 series GPUs.
DLSS Dynamic Frame Generation can also be used with this menu, an option that is not available in-game.
DLSS Performance in Forza Horizon 6
We’ve tested Nvidia’s DLSS modes in Forza Horizon 6, including the 5x and 6x Frame Generation modes that DLSS Overrides enable. Even at 4K Extreme Settings with Ray Tracing enabled, an RTX 5080 can easily max out a 4K 240Hz monitor when using DLSS Frame Generation. It’s almost like Nvidia is daring monitor manufacturers to create faster displays.
For most users, DLSS 5x and 6x modes are excessive. That said, these options make it much easier for owners of ultra-high refresh rate monitors to push their displays to the limit. Remember, 1440p 540Hz OLED monitors already exist, and most modern games cannot run anywhere close to the frame rate limits of these displays without Frame Generation.
Conclusion – More frames for faster displays
DLSS Multi Frame Generation isn’t about making up for poor performance with AI-generated frames. 6x Frame Generation isn’t designed to turn a 20 FPS experience into a 120 FPS one. Multi-Frame Generation is about taking already solid performance levels and turning them into an ultra-fluid gaming experience on ultra-high refresh rate displays.
240Hz 4K monitors exist, and so do 540Hz 1440p monitors. In time, even faster monitors will come to market, and Multi Frame Generation will help gamers enjoy smoother visuals on these screens. To have a good gaming experience, gamers will still need a good baseline framerate. After all, a higher baseline framerate means lower latencies and lower latencies mean more responsive gameplay.
We plan to conduct more PC testing on Forza Horizon 6 soon. We didn’t get early access to this game, but we plan to release a full PC performance review of the game soon. This article is just a taster of what’s to come.
